FORD TRANSIT CONNECT2017 · 1.5L Diesel

The 2017 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 124,594 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the five available MOT entries from July 2021 to October 2025, the vehicle passed every test with no advisories or failures logged. This consistent pass record indicates the previous keeper maintained the van to a standard that satisfied annual statutory inspection, with no worsening or recurring mechanical trends evident in the official data. Annual mileage averages roughly 13,844 miles against the vehicle's nine-year age, placing it above typical light-use figures but within normal bounds for a commercial panel van. The records show steady accumulation: 86,095 miles in July 2021, 94,690 by October 2022, 104,279 in October 2023, 115,612 in October 2024, and 124,594 in October 2025. A minor timing shift occurred between the July 2021 and October 2022 tests, stretching the interval to roughly fifteen months, but subsequent tests reverted to a regular October cycle. No standing periods or abrupt mileage spikes appear in the sequence. Given the absence of any flagged defects across the history, the MOT record itself raises no specific structural or mechanical concerns such as corroded chassis members, worn suspension bushes, or binding brake calipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of high-stress items typical to a high-mileage Transit Connect, namely front coil springs, steering linkage, and brake disc wear, as these consumable components fall outside MOT failure thresholds until significantly degraded. The clean advisory sheet suggests basic upkeep was not skipped by the prior owner, contrasting with vans that accumulate repeated tyre or lighting failures. Prospective purchasers should verify service history paperwork to confirm fluid changes and cambelt interval compliance, since the MOT dataset alone cannot evidence drivetrain maintenance on this 124,594-mile unit.
